Potential mappings of the pharmacophore onto the molecule are found as
follows:<br>
<ol>
  <li>Lists of all matches the molecule has for each of the
pharmacophore's features are created</li>
  <li>All possible combinations of these matches are generated</li>
</ol>
At this stage in the search process, the pharmacophore distances are
not used. The only constraint on the mappings is that a single atom may
not be involved in more than one feature in the mapping. This&nbsp;
improves efficiency by removing degenerate pharmacophores from
consideration.<br>
